En ce 8 mai, où nous célébrons la victoire de la liberté, je condamne l’acte de vandalisme commis hier au Palais de Tokyo. S’en prendre à une œuvre, c’est attenter à nos valeurs. En France, l’art est toujours libre et le respect de la création culturelle, garanti.

Translated from French: On this May 8, when we celebrate the victory of freedom, I condemn the act of vandalism committed yesterday at the Palais de Tokyo. To attack a work is to attack our values. In France, art is always free and respect for cultural creation is guaranteed.

The VERY GRAPHIC EXPLICIT "Art" that was attacked:

Parce qu’une œuvre d’art faisant l’apologie de la pédophilie représente nos valeurs selon Macron. Maintenant vous comprenez pourquoi les violeurs d’enfants prennent du sursis ou au pire quelques années de prison pour une vie détruite en France ? 🤡

Translated from French: Because a work of art advocating pedophilia represents our values according to Macron. Now you understand why child rapists take a reprieve or at worst a few years in prison for a destroyed life in France?

More background info on that: Artist from Switzerland Miriam Cahn, picture called "Fuck Abstraction"

https://news.artnet.com/art-world/controversial-miriam-cahn-painting-vandalized-2297547

But an administrative judge promptly threw out the case , ruling that Cahn’s painting refers to crimes committed in Bucha, Ukraine, and “cannot be understood outside of its context.”

Cahn was always engaged with activism on her own terms. In 1979 and 1980, she was involved with feminist and anti-nuclear movements and frequently went out at night to paint murals at the construction site of a highway bridge in Basel. This led to serious trouble with the authorities.

She has always worked with sexuality in her work, and today, she is even more engaged with the topic. This is in part due to being inspired by the #MeToo movement. As a woman and feminist, Cahn sees a big issue regarding sex as a confrontation of power. Through her work, she aims to show the complexity of sex, power and aggression and encourages women to be fighters.

(English text) https://www.frankfurter-muenzhandlung.de/index.php/en/

"In 1874 the numismatist Adolph Emil Cahn founded a family-run coin shop in Frankfurt am Main, which established itself in the following decades as one of the most important addresses for the German coin trade.

In 1935, two years after the National Socialists seized power, the parent company Adolph E. Cahn was passed on from family hands to Elisabeth Button, a long-time employee. She was able to successfully steer the company - now known as Frankfurter Münzhandlung E. Button - through politically turbulent times into the post-war Germany. Her husband Georg Ruprecht Wolf took over the management after her death in 1963.

In 1988, Swiss Bank Corporation acquired Frankfurter Münzhandlung E. Button and continued it as a subsidiary under the name »Frankfurter Münzhandlung GmbH«."

"The internationally renowned experts of the Swiss SINCONA AG continue the tradition of important auctions at Frankfurter Münzhandlung. That means: two centers, one team of consultants, more options for you. With the cooperation of the two auction houses in Frankfurt a. M. and in Zurich, you gain more flexibility in selling your coins, medals, banknotes, orders and decorations."

"Renowned names in numismatics stand for competence, quality and trust: Jürg Richter, Arne Kirsch, Michael Hardmeier and Ruedi Kunzmann. They manage the business of the Swiss coin auction house SINCONA AG in Zurich, which emerged from the numismatic department of UBS."

Remember the name Sulzer? Like in Sulzer-Escher-Wyss, the company Eugen Schwab, father of Klaus Schwab worked in?

The Bank in Winterthur (Link to 1912), the first antecedent of UBS, opens for business. Winterthur, a city 25km northeast of Zurich, is an industrial hub and home to the burgeoning Swiss locomotive and cotton industries. The bank has an initial share capital of 5 million CHF and is founded by the peers of Winterthur's democratic mayor Johann Jakob Sulzer.

In 1966, Sulzer acquired a 53 percent stake in Escher Wyss & Cie. in Zurich, reaching an all-time high of over 30,000 employees. In 1969, Escher Wyss AG was taken over in full.
